This past April, commenter “JordanEsque” had this to say about our Factory Floor doc: “Why is it that everything done in the UK is ten times better [than] what is done in the US? Every kind of entertainment is better in the UK.”

Astute observation! Well, Mr. Esque (as well as many others) will be pleased to hear that hypnotic dark electro rockers Factory Floor will be making their first jaunt across the pond next week for a mini East Coast U.S. Tour!

Already established as solid contenders in the UK’s industrial disco scene (their debut release, Lying, earned them a spot on NME’s “Best Albums of 2010” list), Factory Floor is gearing up to kill it in the U.S. of A. with Two Different Ways, their upcoming 12″ single dropping sometime in November via DFA Records (yes, that DFA Records).

Catch the Hackney trio while you can at their U.S. shows, or check them out their other EU/UK shows to close out 2011. Dates and details below.
